Destiny Skywalker Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I wish I knew what I did that makes middle-aged men feel so threatened by me. I found out some asshat at work who is wary of me made a pitch to a technical community while I was on maternity leave, and left me off the list of contributers, when I was the one who asked for his supposed expertise and brought him into our project.

Ms. Spam Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Cerina, you have to learn to let go. It was just a quiz. Fortunately I teach regular plain old basic math. So if you wanna argue why 2+2=5 when I say 4, have at it. And I hate that when that happens, Destiny. I work with a ton of people I despise, like the teacher who'd grown her nails so long they curl around her fingers and has to get students to do basic things because she doesn't want to break her nails she grown for years. Human beings are not supposed to have nails that long. My students wonder how she wipes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're intruding on their turf. Cerina, you have to learn to let go. It was just a quiz. Fortunately I teach regular plain old basic math. So if you wanna argue why 2+2=5 when I say 4, have at it.I can't let it go. I know that sounds stupid and childish, but I really just...can't. I don't know if it's because they're wrong, because they won't admit it, or because I know the other students are a - get a poor education believing that their answers were wrong and b - not getting the grades they deserve. Or a combination of all of the above.  I promise you though, my first email was very polite. I just said basically "hey, can you double check the quiz answers on this screenshot? I think there's an issue." Had she not replied with "The answers are NOT marked incorrectly. You need to reread the chapter." (emphasis hers), I might have been able to let it slide. Or not. I really cannot let things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeygirl Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 GUYS! ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE OVER! LOOK what I just got! Greetings !,My name is Mr.Michael Smith,i am the Director Inspection Unit, United Nations Inspection Agent. We are currently in LaGuardia Airport New York, United States for official inspection while i discovered an abandoned shipment from UK via Diplomat with your name/email tagged on it, when i personally scanned it, it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in a Metallic Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 65kg each. On my assumption, each of the 3 boxes will contain more than $5M or above in each.On further investigation, i discovered that the consignment was abandoned due to wrong declaration of the content, also the Diplomat inability to pay for Non Inspection Fees, because he did not know the content of the boxes.I will arrange for the boxes to be moved out of this Airport to your address, once we are through I will deploy the services of a secured shipping Company geared to provide the security it needs to your doorstep.Now i want to strike a deal with you, in your acceptance i will proceed on this. I have the capacity to secure the release of your consignment with my status as an United Nations\Inspection Agent. You will give me 40% of the amount in the consignment and you take the remaining 60%. Consequently.when i cleared it,If you are not in agreement to this proposal, please disregard it. But if you can meet with my condition, then we have a deal. I can get everything concluded within 24 to 48 hours and proceed to your address for delivery upon your acceptance. Write me on this email: msmith66@qq.com ,if you accepts to work with me.Signed,Mr.Michael SmithDirector Inspection UnitUnited Nations Inspection Agent.LaGuardia Airport New York,United States.

Ms. Spam Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 So where is the reset button to this day? My day off has sucked so much. There was a hole in one of my grocery bags so I lost some small costly items that got ran over. Some stupid doofy lady didn't know what a green arrow light meant to her so we sat at a light for five changes before she finally went through on yellow. I have cleaned up two cat barfings, three oops-we-missed-the-box, and four meals worth of sneezed out food from my toothless cat and now my rum and coke has gone missing!

Destiny Skywalker Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 When someone asks for feedback or help, they're not really looking for either, just validation that everything's super or that anything that actually is wrong is someone else's fault. Learned that lesson twice in the last 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've dealt with that with wannabe writers. It's so frustrating. When I give my stuff for people to beta I want them to tell me what's wrong so I can fix it, and to tell me what's right so I can keep doing more of it.

Destiny Skywalker Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It wasn't even just coworkers. One of them was the regional director for our daycare. I won't be giving her feedback ever again, unless it's "I feel really sorry for your employees because I would hate to work for you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
